What if you are growing your tomatoes on your screened in Lanai? Im in florida ?

Question

we gets lots of wind and rain here thru the screen, will that be enough or should I still manually pollinate? My plants look healthy with lots of flowers, but no fruit thus far. The flowers have just started within the last month.

Answer 1

All you need to do is shake the plants. Nothing more fancy than that.   I'd do it 2-3 times.

Answer 2

Answer 4

A garden is not necessary in order to grow tasty tomatoes this summer. All you need are a few large containers and some time devoted to tomato care.

While an old pot and a pair of nylons may not appear to be keys to growing great tomatoes, appearances can be deceiving. Any container that is at least twelve inches deep and five gallons in volume is a good vessel in which to plant tomatoes. Be sure the container has holes in the bottom for proper drainage. The nylons (or a plastic bag with a few holes) come in handy for lining the pot, keeping soil in its place and retaining the moisture that tomato plants love. This method of growing tomatoes is obviously useful for people without a yard or garden plot, but it is also a great way to decorate a patio for the summer.
